雪夜，一个麻烦缠身的女模从伦敦上流社区的一处阳台坠落。她被认为是自杀。但她的哥哥怀疑另有隐情，于是请私人侦探科莫兰斯特莱克调查。 斯特莱克是个身心曾遭重创的退伍军人，生活一团混乱。这个案子化解了他的财务危机，但他也付出了巨大代价：他深入女模复杂的世界，黑暗的真相一一浮出水面，而他离致命危险也越来越近…… 这是部引人入胜而优雅的推理小说，弥漫着浓郁的英伦气息：梅菲尔区高尚静谧的街景，东区的后街酒吧，喧嚷的苏荷区。《布谷鸟的呼唤》是部杰作，侦探科莫兰·斯特莱克的首秀，由J.K.罗琳化名罗伯特·加尔布雷思书写。 When a troubled model falls to her death from a snow-covered Mayfair balcony, it is assumed that she has committed suicide. However, her brother has his doubts, and calls in private investigator Cormoran Strike to look into the case. Strike is a war veteran— wounded both physically and psychologically— and his life is in disarray. The case gives him a financial lifeline, but it comes at a personal cost: the more he delves into the young model’s complex world, the darker things get— and the closer he gets to terrible danger… A gripping, elegant mystery steeped in the atmosphere of London— from the hushed streets of Mayfair to the backstreet pubs of the East End to the bustle of Soho— The Cuckoo’s Calling is a remarkable book. IntroducingCormoran Strike, this is the acclaimed first crime novel by J.K. Rowling, writing under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.

Though Robin Ellacott’s twenty-five years of life had seen their moments of drama and incident, she had never before woken up in the certain knowledge that she would remember the coming day for as long as she lived. Shortly after midnight, her long-term boyfriend, Matthew, had proposed to her under the statue of Eros in the middle of Piccadilly Circus. In the giddy relieffollowing her acceptance, he confessed that he had beenplanning to pop the question in the Thai restaurant where they just had eaten dinner, but that he had reckoned without the silent couple beside them, who had eavesdropped on their entire conversation. He had therefore suggested a walk through the darkening streets, in spite of Robin’s proteststhat they both needed to be up early, and finallyinspiration had seized him, and he had led her, bewildered, to the steps of the statue. There, flinging discretion to the chilly wind (in a most un-Matthew-like way), he had proposed, on one knee, in front of three down-and-outs huddled on the steps, sharing what looked like a bottle of meths.
